CONSTITUENCY BRIEFING · ENERGYMAP.APP
Redcar
Redcar has 50 MW of clean power (all solar) approved and still not built: enough to supply a year's electricity to 18,000 homes. Britain's grid bottlenecks still add to bills here: about £92 a year per household, £3.9m across the constituency's 42,180 homes.
Ranks 139 of 650 for clean power approved and not built.
